Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel
parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left
intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions
do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error.
Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will
stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether.
checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism
for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.
However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be
made executable without authorization by policy. The default value
for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed
from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c1 ("selinux: change
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android
and Linux distributions began explicitly setting
/sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
|
|
to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
|
|
functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
|
|
command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
|
|
kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
|
|
necessarily enabled.

|
|
This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
|
|
allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
|
|
SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
|
|
This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
|
|
support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
|
|
portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
|
|
to employ.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init'
|
|
kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider
|
|
using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this
|
|
option.

kernel release.

This enables the development support option of NSA SELinux,

policies. If unsure, say Y. With this option enabled, the

kernel will start in permissive mode (log everything, deny nothing)

|

This option sets the default value for the 'checkreqprot' flag
|
|
that determines whether SELinux checks the protection requested
|
|
by the application or the protection that will be applied by the
|
|
kernel (including any implied execute for read-implies-exec) for
|
|
mmap and mprotect calls. If this option is set to 0 (zero),
|
|
SELinux will default to checking the protection that will be applied
|
|
by the kernel. If this option is set to 1 (one), SELinux will
|
|
default to checking the protection requested by the application.
|
|
The checkreqprot flag may be changed from the default via the
|
|
'checkreqprot=' boot parameter. It may also be changed at runtime
|
|
via /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot if authorized by policy.
